I was thinking about the opposing forces on a float tip - you want the tip to be as tiny as possible to increase sensitivity (since it's basically the volume of water that it has to displace that governs sensitivity) but you don't want to sacrifice visibility...
So how about a float where the tip is made from a stiff piece of plastic shaped in a tight spiral! Hard to explain, but imagine a pig's tail shape. Or to put it another way, imagine a regular hollow float tip and then drawing a rising spiral on the tip with a black pen, and then cutting out the black bit...
